CHARLOTTE, NC – Clemson won’t win an ACC Championship this season.
No. 11 seed Miami scored six runs in the first two innings, held off another Clemson rally, and defeated the second-seeded Tigers 8-7 at Truist Field Thursday. With a 2-0 record in pool play, the Hurricanes (27-29) advance to the tournament semifinals Saturday.
Clemson (40-14) plays Louisville on Friday in Charlotte (3 p.m./ACCN), but that will be the last game before the NCAA Tournament.
The Hurricanes jumped on Clemson starter Ethan Darden early. Darden picked up two quick outs in the bottom of the first, but Daniel Cuvet singled.
